In summary, the integration of AI and nursing is an inevitable trend. The only way to unleash the potential of AI and promote the nursing industry to realize high-quality development in the technological wave is to strengthen the humanistic roots, make up for the shortcomings of skills, and improve the ethical framework.

Laser therapy is a widely accepted method for tattoo removal, fragmenting tattoo pigments for eventual clearance by the immune system. However, tattoos presenting with signs of allergic reactions—such as erythema, swelling, pruritus, or localized dermatitis—pose unique challenges that contraindicate the use of laser treatments. This review explores clinical and immunological reasons why laser therapy should be avoided in tattoos manifesting allergic reactions, focusing on the exacerbation of symptoms, potential systemic hypersensitivity, and increased risk of severe adverse effects. Tattoo inks, particularly those containing red pigments, are known to induce delayed hypersensitivity reactions, driven by the body’s immune response to the injected foreign substances. Laser-induced breakdown of tattoo pigments can trigger an amplified allergic response due to the rapid release of pigment particles, which may further stimulate the immune system. Additionally, photomechanical fragmentation of tattoo inks during laser treatment increases the bioavailability of allergenic compounds, heightening the risk of severe inflammatory reactions and systemic dissemination of these allergens. Histological evidence suggests allergic reactions to tattoo inks are often granulomatous in nature, and the inflammatory environment created by laser therapy can exacerbate this granulomatous process, resulting in hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation. Moreover, patients with underlying allergic sensitivities to tattoo pigments are at an elevated risk of systemic complications, including generalized urticaria or angioedema, upon laser treatment. Current evidences suggests tattoos of allergic reactions should be not undergone laser therapy, emphasizing the need for alternative management strategies, such as topical application of corticosteroids or excision in severe cases. Clinicians must conduct a thorough pre-treatment assessment, including the patch testing, to identify potential allergenic inks and avoid laser-based interventions on reactive tattoos to prevent complications and safeguard patient's safety.

How do trees regrow roots after being cut? A new study sheds light on this question using cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics to track how poplar stems regenerate roots. 

In this paper, the authors address that the quality of water affects the health of animals and humans directly due to chemical and microbial pollutants. They advocate an integrated One-Water/One-Health framework to study sources, transport, and impacts of emerging contaminants and pathogens from wastewater. The paper focuses on three key topics: 1) Environmental Virology (using viruses as fecal pollution indicators), 2) Emerging Contaminants (human-altered chemical signatures), and 3) The Wastewater-Water Amalgam (assessing global fecal pollution impacts using new tools). They stress the urgent need to identify at-risk ecosystems and populations by integrating monitoring data, global mapping, and source diagnostics into watershed programs prioritizing viruses, microbial tracking, and emerging contaminants.

Scientists at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have completed the largest taxonomic and genomic investigation yet of the bellflower genus Adenophora. By mining 9.89 TB of deep genome skimming data—nearly every known species in the group—they have clarified how hybridisation and gene flow shaped this lineage and, in turn, propose a new generic framework.

A recent study demonstrates that the IBDV VP2 subunit vaccine prepared in this study was able to induce the production of specific antibodies, inhibit bursal atrophy and resist viral attack. The vaccine offers a safer alternative to traditional live-attenuated vaccines, with potential applications in global poultry disease control.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant health concern among adolescents and young adults, often resulting from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Dissociation, post-traumatic symptoms and attachment style may have a role in shaping such associations. This study aims to provide a unified model of the impact of ACEs on NSSI, exploring complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) symptoms and dissociation as potential mediators and the role of the predominant attachment style in affecting such associations.

Schizophrenia is characterised by pervasive cognitive deficits that significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life. Pharmacological treatments have limited efficacy in addressing these deficits, highlighting the need for adjunctive interventions like computerised cognitive training (CCT). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 30-session CCT programme on mental well-being and cognitive performance in individuals with schizophrenia. Additionally, it assessed the usability and acceptability of CCT in this population.

Crystallographic engineering of Zn anodes to favor the exposure of (002) planes is an effective approach for improving stability in aqueous electrolytes. However, achieving non-epitaxial electrodeposition with a pronounced (002) texture and maintaining this orientation during extended cycling remains challenging. This study questions the prevailing notion that a single (002)-textured Zn anode inherently ensures superior stability, showing that such anodes cannot sustain their texture in ZnSO₄ electrolytes. We then introduced a novel electrolyte additive, benzyltriethylammonium chloride (TEBAC), which preserves the (002) texture over prolonged cycling. Furthermore, we successfully converted commercial Zn foils into highly crystalline (002)-textured Zn without any pretreatment. Experiments and theoretical calculations revealed that the cationic TEBA⁺ selectively adsorbs onto the anode surface, promoting the exposure of the Zn(002) plane and suppressing dendrite formation. A critical discovery was the pitting corrosion caused by chloride ions from TEBAC, which we mitigated by anion substitution. This modification leads to a remarkable lifespan of 375 days for the Zn||Zn symmetric cells at 1 mA cm^-2 and 1 mAh cm^-2. Furthermore, a TEBA⁺-modified Zn||VO₂ full cell demonstrates high specific capacity and robust cycle stability at 10.0 A g^-1. These results provide valuable insights and strategies for developing long-life Zn ion batteries.

While being a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage, the current market penetration of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is still limited by several challenges. As one of the key components in VRFBs, a membrane is employed to separate the catholyte and anolyte to prevent the vanadium ions from cross-mixing while allowing the proton conduction to maintain charge balance in the system during operation. To overcome the weakness of commercial membranes, various types of membranes, ranging from ion exchange membranes with diverse functional groups to non-ionic porous membranes, have been designed and reported to achieve higher ionic conductivity while maintaining low vanadium ion permeability, thus enhancing efficiency. In addition, besides overall efficiency, stability and cost-effectiveness of the membrane are also critical aspects that determine the practical applicability of the membranes and thus VRFBs. In this article, we have offered comprehensive insights into the mechanism of ion transportation in membranes of VRFBs that contribute to the challenges and issues of VRFB applications. We have further discussed optimal strategies for solving the trade-off between the membrane efficiency and its durability in VRFB applications. The development of state-of-the-art membranes through various material and structure engineering is demonstrated to reveal the relationship of properties-structure-performance.
